How to setup Active Directory for Tableau Server - active-directory

I have an Active Directory on an AWS EC2 Instance (Windows 2012 R2). I'm in the process of installing Tableau Server 10.0 on another AWS EC2 Instance (Windows 2012 R2). When running the Tableau Server Configuration tool. I'm prompted to enter the domain of the Active Directory
Please ignore the Radio Button for Active Directory selection is grayed out for now as I keep trying and reinstalling
I'm stuck on what to put for the Domain. I know my AD Domain is named "ABCD.loc" but that doesn't seem to authenticate when I try to setup a Tableau Admin user.
Both the Tableau and AD EC2 Instances are on the same Network in AWS.

Applying Active Directory authentication to Power BI report server

I just deployed a Power BI report server on SQL Server 2017 which is working at Windows Server 2016. The server is running on my local network. Which mean it does not have a domain. Is it possible to apply AD authentication in this case? (The Azure AD has already been created, and I just want to apply it to the report server.)
I had read the following document:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/consumer/mobile/mobile-oauth-ssrs
But I think this cannot help in the local network case since it requires a domain.

SQL Server on Azure VM: How can my application connect?

I have an application written in VB, which used to connect with a Microsoft SQL Server, which is placed on a VM in the domain, using Windows Authentication(Local Domain).
But, I have moved my DB to a SQL Server which is placed on an Azure VM.
My problem is that i don't know how i can use Windows Authentication(or somehow to "ask" the Active Directory about the user who tries to connect).
I have seen the modes of SQL Server:
Active Directory - Password
Active Directory - Integrated
but i can't understand how i can use them. Should i have to do trust relation between 2 domain(Local, Azure)?
Can someone help?
I have moved my DB to a SQL Server which is placed on an Azure VM.
SQL on an Azure VM is the same product you might run on-premises, and supports SQL Auth and Windows Integrated Auth. The Azure Active Directory authentication methods supported by Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Data Warehouse are not applicable to SQL Server running in an Azure VM. See:
Azure Active Directory authentication is a mechanism of connecting to
Azure SQL Database and SQL Data Warehouse by using identities in Azure
Active Directory (Azure AD).
See Use Azure Active Directory Authentication for authentication with SQL Database, Managed Instance, or SQL Data Warehouse
For SQL Server running in an Azure VM you use either SQL Authentication or Windows Authenticationl, as outlined here Authentication in SQL Server
You can use Windows Auth in your VM with either local accounts (created on the VM), or you can deploy a Domain Controller on a separate VM into your VMs VNET and use identities from the Domain. The Domain Controller you deploy into your Azure VNET can be an isolated Domain, or it can be a replica for your on-premises domain. If you want to deploy a replica of your on-premises domain into an Azure VNET you also will need to use a site-to-site VPN or ExpressRoute, as explained here Guidelines for Deploying Windows Server Active Directory on Azure Virtual Machines

Connect to SQL Server using users in Active Directory (without Windows Authentication)

I'm trying to connect SQL Server Database using the users from any open source LDAP (Open Ldap, Apache DS etc)
After going through some of the documents I found that SQL Server gives a way to connect to database using Windows User / Active Directory, but this related to Windows Authentication. What I m looking for is not Windows Authentication using SQL Server and Active Directory but authentication with Active Directory users from SQL Server without actually logging in to windows using those user details.
And Is there also a way I can achieve this with other open source ldap servers ?
Thanks.

Configure IIS to impersonate a user for SQL Integrated Authentication

I have a question about how to configure my web site and IIS using Active Directory.
I have a web app which will be running exclusively on our company's internal network. The SQL Database that the app needs to connect to (via active directory) can only be accessed by one specific AD user DBAccess but I am using Windows Authentication mode to validate my users. I would put the identity impersonate right into my Web.Config but the DB user does not have rights on the web server computer.
How would I configure IIS to use the DB Access user for connecting to the SQL Server and not for running locally on the web server?
Thanks in advance and sorry if this is a bit basic.
Set the application pool your application is using to run as the user you wish to connect to the DB as.
Add Integrated Security=true; to your connection string.
